Intersectionality

I found these videos to be very informative! I think the place to start is education, it's difficult to understand or be empathetic to various groups' struggles and benefits if we are not educated. I think it's also important to encourage students (with their families) to explore their racial identities and what does it mean to identify with those racial identities. I talk about racism with my students and co-teachers often and we've often asked our students why they feel so comfortable talking with us candidly and honestly and they all have said that it's because we listen and are open minded- though, I'm not sure we can "teach" those qualities... it is a good place to start.
